  1. Embark on a scenic journey up Mt. Etna, one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

     

    Reaching heights of almost 11,000 feet, this fabled volcano looms large over the landscape and history. Meet your guide, then travel by motor coach through the verdant countryside and past the small villages that live in the shadow of the volcano. Centuries of lava flows have helped create a rich, fertile soil that is perfect for vineyards and orchards. Your guide will point out the different lava streams that descend down Mt. Etna’s slopes. Upon arrival at Sapienza Refuge, you will transfer to a cable car, which will take you up to around 9,000 feet. Enjoy sweeping views of the countryside as your guide describes the volcano and its lava flows. Afterward, return to the refuge, where you will have free time to relax or explore independently before returning to your ship.

    Thank you kctwinmommy, 

     

    Would it be OK if I attached this to the Roll Call for Mediterranean Iconic Shores - Istanbul to Barcelona - 13 April to 11 May 2024?

    This cruise combines Iconic Western Mediterranean, Italian Sojourn, Venice, the Adriatic & Greece and Ancient Mediterranean Treasure. 

     

    It looks really useful. 

     

    Edit:  Also - what is Viking Chat?

  3. Hi, first time on Viking, so some newbie questions. 

     

    Ocean Cruises:

    1)  is the room key a card?

    2)  what is the ID to charge purchases to your stateroom? 

    3)  are luggage tags provided in advance  - are they paper or otherwise? 

     

    TIA.

    Beer and wine are alcoholic, same as gin etc. But we like the way you think! 😏

     

    The Americans seem to call spirits and liqueurs 'alcohol' and beer & wine - beer & wine.

     

    Whereas, here in Australia,  it is all alcohol,  just divided into spirits (gin, whisky/whiskey, rum, brandy etc)  liqueurs (Tia Maria, Cointreau, Frangelico etc)  (overall, it's liquor), beer and wine. 

     

    No aspersions,  just noting - confused me until I worked it out
